The contribution is focused on determination of qualitative and quantitative relationships between weather radars and the geostationary meteorological satellite with a high horizontal resolution. The study deals with an evaluation of accuracy of rainfall estimates based on Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) data. These data containing Cloud top temperature have been converted to estimated rainfall rates using Satellite Application Facilities algorithms developed in Spain. The accuracy of rainfall estimates derived from MSG scans was verified with radar rainfall estimates merged with rain gauge stations.
